Sharing the wisdom of Lopez KnowledgeShare is a local organizations that aims to educate, nurture community connections and promote healthy living By Cali Bagby
Special to the Weekly
THANK YOU from Lopez Island Center for Community and the Arts! The 2012 Home Tour, our major annual fundraiser, was a huge success thanks to the generosity of homeowners, sponsors, volunteers and for those who purchased tickets and visited homes. See you next September 2013!
Twenty-five people, each with their own instrument, crammed into the cafe ready to learn how to play like an Appalachian String Band. “Everyone had a blast,” said Callie North. The music class was hosted by KnowledgeShare, an organization that aims to cultivate and support the exchange of community wisdom on Lopez Island. North and Milla Prince started KnowledgeShare in February. After that first session, people started coming to the two women with
subjects they wanted to teach. North said it was just that simple. “As young homesteaders we recognize that there is no need for us to ‘re-invent the wheel’ because the community is full of folks who have walked this path before,” North said. In the last eight months, KnowledgeShare has held 14 classes that have focused on a range of topics such as native ecology, lacto-fermentation, tanning hides, knot-tying, plant genetics and composting. The age of students range from as young as eight to 70 years

old. Prince said teachers have been anyone from renowned experts to skilled craft people and passionate laymen. KnowledgeShare is a notfor-profit group and anyone can join as a teacher, student or organizer. “We are having a lot of fun and would love to have even more input and assistance from our community,” Prince said. Class tuition ranges from free to $60 for a series. Financial support and childcare is available. Their goals are to share local knowledge, nurture community connections and promote healthy living and learning. In line with that philosophy, North and Prince are organizing a swap called “Preserve and Fall Bounty Exchange” as a fundrais-

The initiative will make it unlawful to propagate, cultivate, raise or grow plants, animals and other organisms that have been genetically modified. It does not affect growing of hybrid plants or limit what is available in stores, according to GMO-Free San Juans organizers. “This [GMO-free San Juans] is one the most important issues our world is facing today. It is important because the production and proliferation of GMO seed could mean irreversible damage to the ecosystem, human health and the future of our planet,” said North. “We are at critical point in human history and the scales could be tipped in either direction. If this initiative passes it could be the start of real food security in the San Juan Islands.” The upcoming “preserve swap” follows a trend that is growing popular across the country. But North said they are taking it to the next level by including everything from winter storage crops like potatoes, onions, garlic and squash to fermented foods.

in the county responsible for the management of a budget in excess of $45 million, consistent leadership is essential to deliver efficient high quality services. This can be best achieved by the appointment of a quality county administrator who understands our community’s needs and is held accountable by the council under the current charter. If the voters are unhappy with the degree to which the council members have held the administrator accountable then we must elect new council members, not change the structure. Let’s not take a step backwards and put the management of the day to day operations in the hands of elected officials who may not have any management experience. The existing charter system has in place a set of Rules of Operation regarding the working relationship between the council and the administrator. This document can be improved without gutting the charter model and reverting to the system to voters found to be flawed in 2005. Please join me in voting to reject Propositions No. 1 and No. 2.

These forums were held during the day, when working members could not attend, and were too short for everyone to have a chance to speak. Wouldn’t you think, on our small islands, that our utility cooperative would allow its’ members more input before making this enormous decision? Wouldn’t you think that they would allow us to vote on this project, or at least offer us a chance to express our opinions publicly by having true forums in the evening, with enough time everyone to speak? Wouldn’t you think, in these times of financial hardship, that there would be more discussion about how to spend $30 million of our dollars?? I do, and so I call on OPALCO, our memberowned cooperative, to allow us to vote, island by island, on their Broadband project.

Yes for more local control The Charter Review Commission’s platform is simple. We the people should control our local government instead of being controlled by it. We should take steps to improve the Charter, downsize, and get our financial house in order. See LETTERS, page 6

The challenges and success of the Lopez Children’s Center Contributed photo / Jane Hobbs
Zander, shown left, was recently featured in a video developed for the Lopez Children’s Center.
By Carole White and Sherry Brummel Special to the Weekly
Local mom Vanessa and her son Zander recently appeared in a video developed for the Lopez Children’s Center and can be viewed on YouTube. In the video she states that, “It would be almost impossible to have a job and know my child was taken care of, if the Lopez Children’s Center was not here. He’s learned everything he knows while he has
been there, how to interact, play nice; all those good rules. If the center was not here, I wouldn’t be able to work Monday through Friday to survive and take care of my kids. I wouldn’t be able to work and be out in the community and feel good about myself and have my children feel good about themselves. It would be a drastic change, as I would be stuck at home and possibly need to go on welfare. Having the center is a healthy thing for
the whole family.” Over the years the Children’s Center has faced many challenges; working with children of varying ages, abilities and developmental levels, meeting licensing requirements and operating high quality programs with a limited budget. However, unlike many mainland centers they face the additional challenge of operating in a small community with limited resources and relatively few children. “Our aim is to be flexible in order to meet the needs of the families, offer quality services and to cover our costs,” said Jane Hobbs, director of the center. Shanley Lett, LCC Board president, said, “Like so many other early learning centers around the country, LCC is under constant pressure to raise enough funds to support our high-quality programs. The support we receive from United Way and generous community members is very much appreciated and crucial to
our continuing success.” Grant funding from United Way enables the Children’s Center to provide scholarships to families. Jules McLeland, board member and parent educator for the Cooperative Preschool, acknowledges these challenges, but celebrates the successes of the Children’s Center: “Lopez children play and learn in multi-age classrooms and have a variety of teachers each week. The staff are experienced and educated in early childhood education, offering high quality, stimulating activities and early learning opportunities for the children. Growing up on Lopez allows children to be comfortable around adults and all ages of children” To learn more about the upcoming United Way fund drive and how United Way supports the community visit www.unitedway-sanjuancounty.org.

Lopez stayed within a goal of Shoreline right up to the last minute, due to impressive goal tending by Moore and Willow Fields. Cosmos Cordova scored early in the second half, with Michael Reeve getting the assist. Lopez repeatedly came within inches of putting the ball in the net.

Rich in numbers and talent By Gene Helfman Special to the Weekly
Coach Larry Berg has had mean years, lean years, and in-between years. Never before has he had the luxury of fielding a team packed with experienced players. With a squad of 24 players, anchored by seven seniors and five juniors, Berg has reasons to feel optimistic. “The older boys have been through game time situations. They have become part of our coaching staff. We can concentrate on skills and planning,” Berg said. “Our older players know what the younger kids are thinking, how to build their con-
fidence. The upper classmen will lead by example.” And Berg said having 24 players means they won’t have to concede to anyone. In the past, the combination of small squads and injuries have required Berg to put boys into situations late in a game that stretched their abilities. “This year, we should be able to play more boys at their best positions, and maybe even give them a little rest,” Berg said. Despite having key players who graduated last year, Berg is confident that the team has plenty of boys eager to step up and fill their shoes. And those are pretty big shoes to step into. Last year, Lopez went 9-0 in regular season play, won the league championship, and went on to District Playoffs. Lopez lost there to powerhouse Neah Bay, a team that eventually captured the State 1B Championship. In addition, the 2011 team won the John Trotto Sportsmanship Award, “which shows that we’re developing good citizens as well as good football players,”

The sound of smacking volleyballs fills the Lopez Island High School gymnasium as the Lady Lobos prepare themselves for the
new season ahead. Coach Jeremiah Johnson, a former volleyball player, has taken on the role of mentoring these athletes. “With several veteran players
with two or three years experience and some talent – we are looking at another year of strong team play. I am hopeful for our games this season,” he said. “And I am comfortable saying we’re going to win some games.” Johnson strives to push these girls’ physical conditioning and skills to the next level. He also
encourages his team to stay healthy, safe, have fun and excel academically. So far, all their hard work has paid off too. With two wins already under their belt, the Lady Lobos are staying focused on their ultimate goal – state championships in November. “I am so glad I have been able
to play volleyball at Lopez High School,” said Eryn Dye, captain of the volleyball team. “I have had so many great experiences and I have learned so much from being on a team. I am excited for this year and what is in store for us. I know that when we, as a team, put our mind to something, we can accomplish anything.”

citizens are two steps away from keeping their county administrator accountable to the people. The people have no direct control over this very powerful position. This needs to be changed. Your charter review commissioners are recommending in Proposition 2 to require a county manager whose duties are delegated by the council whose members are all accountable to all the voters. We will hold them accountable for their actions or failure to act. County spending is out of control. Your Charter Review Commissioners
looked at the council’s own predictions of enormous growth in budgets which will result in deficits, debt, and increased taxes. Salaries are going up and services are going down. As the county government accelerates in size and complexity our current council appears helpless to fix it.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. http://agr.wa.gov/inspection/ weightsMeasures/ Firewoodinformation.aspx

said North. “We wanted to hold a preserve swap because it is a fun old time-y tradition in need of reviving,” Prince said. “This time of year people are inundated with fresh produce and preserving it for the coming months is an incredibly important skill to cultivate. It is a great way to get ideas on fermenting and preserving, connect with fellow islanders and raise awareness about an issue
